Havand Fires Big Against Mayo

Around 3,500 was in the pot on a flop of J♣7♠5♦ when Ahmed Havand bet 1,500 from the hijack. Only John Mayo called in the big blind.

Havand bet another 2,000 on the 7♥ turn and Mayo again called. The river was the 5♣ and Havand bet 12,000.

Mayo spent around a minute in the tank pondering the decision. "Good bet," he eventually said, sliding his cards into the muck.

"Make sure you write it was a good river bet," Mayo added after the hand as Havand raked in the pot.
